Go post that hat on the classified ads. Size and color?

Moonstone Size 62 It has shrunk a bit from being worn, I am size 61 and all the foam tape is out of it. It will be going up in the classifieds.

Too bad it didn't work out. They're nice hats. Looking fwd to seeing pics of the problem crown.

I wouldn't call it a problem. More a matter of what I have gotten used to. I wore a Brown Fedora that I bought from Arnold Hatter (NYC now long gone) for many years and was fine with it. I think the problem is the Camp Draft. I got used to the higher crown and wider brim and everything else looks puny. That said I am currently wearing a Steel Grey Squatter that I have creased with a very shallow center dent which is working for me. Go figure.

Hi all,

So I know I posted some pics already, but I re-did the bash, which altered the shape significantly. Let me know what you guys think.

Lol, what does the owl mean?

 

[KarlCrow]

i can see a face in the crease, a gagged face. It's probably just me and the acid I took in my youth. (-:

i love the hat, but don't have the gonads to try and pull off an indy hat in a non hat wearing city.

imagine this place if everyone started a thread whenever they creased and recreased their hats ...

no need for this at all ... especially when ... http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/i-love-the-fed-iv.37835/

Thank you for your kind thoughts, it's most appreciated.

...and there is also a thread exclusively dedicated to hat "bashes" and creases.

I don't understand what you mean by this. Sorry, I have autism, I can't pick up on subtle social cues.

No worries. There is a thread here on the hat forum where we all post pictures and remarks about the different ways we crease/re-crease and pinch our hats. I don't kno how to link it up here for you. Maybe someone can help?

Ok, because I thought I wasn't allowed to post on this forum anymore because I happen to like a particular style of hat, and also because I just got a new hat I like and wanted to share it with other people.

I don't believe that's the case but that thread is a great thread too.

So then why is moontheloon going out of his way to make me feel unwelcome?

my intention was never to make you feel unwelcome ... and I apologize if that is what you took from any of my comments

see my last post for the reasons behind my comments

I think your hats look great and think you do a fantastic job shaping them ... I really do
